The country gets about 94 percent of its energy from coal and 5 percent from the Koeberg nuclear power plant, built in the 1980s, whose two reactors deliver 1800 megawatts. Just one percent comes from renewable energy." So South Africa only has to refrain from the pressurized water reactors planned next for financial reasons because it has no money for them. The PBMR wants...

as a marketing strategy for new nuclear power plants After the Chernobyl disaster, many people view nuclear power with skepticism and many new construction plans had to be put on hold. Renewable energies are making slow but unstoppable progress. It was therefore important for the nuclear industry to regain the trust of the population. But that only works if they listen to the concerns of...
with an efficiency of 46 percent, far behind modern gas and steam power plants. These new large power plants will be in operation for around 40 years and are highly effective in hindering the expansion of renewable energies in this region during this period. This makes climate protection impossible. That's exactly what RWE wants, because this company wants to...
